2025

2025-04-04 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Evans publicly criticized Elon Musk as ignoring laws passed by Congress while simultaneously holding Tesla stock and having secured federal EV charger funding. He then failed to timely disclose his Tesla stock sale, violating the STOCK Act. The two source hosts differ (evans.house.gov vs. broadandliberty.com), satisfying the independent-outlet requirement.

2018

2018-12-21 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Evans publicly pledged support for net neutrality on his official House website, yet declined to sign the discharge petition that would have forced a floor vote to restore net neutrality rules — while Comcast Corp was his top career donor at $107,250. The two source hosts differ (evans.house.gov vs. inquirer.com), satisfying the independent-outlet requirement.

What this view assembles

  • Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
  • Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
  • Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
  • Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).

This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
